This paper from an international collaboration on the geomagnetic nature of the LIGO signal was submitted for publication in November 2016. This means that the study had to be ongoing during the latter half of 2016. At least one author is an official member of the LIGO collaboration.

Between then and now a number of high profile international prizes were awarded to LIGO, and LIGO accepted these with great glorying. These prizes include the AAS Berkeley Prize, and two major European prizes: megabuck Korber Prize and the Princess of Asturias Prize.

Also during this period, NSF Director France Cordova repeatedly issued strong statement of support for LIGO, and strong commitment to fund LIGO in the face of the Trump budget cut for NSF (11%).

Note that all of LIGO signal is non-gravitational wave. There is no room here for salvaging the discoveries or saving faces. LIGO is not a proper scientific instrument. Do not waste one more minute or one more dollar on this megabuck megascam.

Folks, by now it should be clear to you that the LIGO Collaboration has assumed a haughty, arrogant stance. They would not deign to entertain any criticisms. When the good Professor Wolfgang Engelhardt asked a perfectly legitimate question, he was derided. Engelhardt was absolutely correct. When the Danes recently brought up the issue of data analysis, they were basically told that they did not understand. The Danes have a good point. What they have uncovered is a symptom of the fact that the LIGO instrument is a piece of crap. Bad scientists and bad engineers were given a billion dollars to go to town, and we have LIGO.

Just last month, LIGO spokesperson David Shoemaker told a blogger that they, the Ligonauts, have “full confidence” in their results.

Raindrops keep fallin’ on their heads, … but nothing’s worrying them!

At this critical juncture, the Ligonauts are keeping mum (until October at least) so that nothing can queer the deal. You know whereof I speak?
